Heart no Kuni no Alice ~Wonderful Wonder World~ to End in September

The manga adaptation of the fantasy otome game Heart no Kuni no Alice will end in the upcoming October issue of Comic Blade avarus (to be released 9/15/2010). The anime adaptation of the series is currently in the works, although its release has been postponed until further notice.

I hear fangirls crying already. It seems cut short.. after reading vol 5, I'm not sure how it will get wrapped up in just one volume. Still, it was a good ride. I never imagined something based off of games practically no one around here plays would get so popular.

I'd like to clarify they've said nothing new or specific about the anime production and still have the noncommittal "we haven't outright announced that we've canceled it but have pushed it back indefinitely" stance.

Perhaps they've been waiting for the manga to end in order to properly conclude the anime? It drives me nuts to have a "filler" ending to the anime... (Kobato, Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, I'm looking at you!)

It's probably because they realized there is no way to end it without dissapointing or angering japanese fans of the Otome game; because in a manga Alice can only be with one guy. While playing the game you can choose all different paths and esscentially end up with them all if you repeat the game. So i'm sure they realized...crap...what do we do now. :< It sucks though because i really liked the manga.

I'm pretty sure they knew this the entire time (and found a way to make money from it with the countless anthologies). It's so common in otome/BL game->manga adaptations.

I am sad that it'll end so soon, I am addicted to the game and manga XD oh well, if there's no more manga there's still the games! >:D I don't mind, I didn't want a bunch of fangirls going after my Ace~ :P

There's also a bunch of other mangas though were Alice ends up with different characters, the mangas just haven't been translated yet.

Yes, I know--I own and have read every single one of them (and was the one who added them to MAL). Those are the ones QuinRose has been pimping on the side. The main manga was never set up to be any single character's route, although it most closely follows Julius's route.

Really? so short? but they barely got into the whole "game" thing. we still know next to nothing. to end it so short and try to wrap everything up in one last volume seems... odd? because if they try to wrap everything up in one volume i feel, even though it was good so far, the horrible ending will ruin the whole thing.
